Live AI Coastal Briefing
G'day everyone, welcome to your Wednesday 27 May coastal weather report, I'm stoked to be bringing you the latest conditions for our beautiful beach destination. We're in for a pretty unique day ahead, with the current temperature sitting at 15C and a heavy overcast sky with 100% cloud cover. The humidity is also at 100%, making it feel quite damp and misty out there.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is currently at 1.96m, which is definitely overhead and powerful, so it's really only suitable for experienced surfers at the moment. The water temperature is a comfortable 20.1C, so you'll probably only need a spring suit or rashie to stay warm. We've got a high tide coming in at 05:54 pm with a height of 2.1m, and a low tide at 11:24 am with a height of -1.6m.
If you're planning on getting out and about today, the conditions are looking pretty good for a range of sports and activities. Surfers, as I mentioned, will love the powerful waves, but be sure to exercise caution and know your limits. Runners and cyclists will enjoy the calm wind conditions, with a gentle 7 km/h breeze blowing from the west, gusting up to 12 km/h. Anglers and paddleboarders should also be able to get out on the water without too much trouble, and the low UV index means you won't need to worry too much about sun protection.
As we head into the afternoon, it's looking like the heavy overcast will stick around, but at least we're not expecting any rain. The temperature will likely stay steady at around 15C, so it's a good idea to pack a light jacket or jumper if you're planning on being out and about. All in all, it's shaping up to be a pretty cool and relaxing day at the beach, so grab your board, your bike, or your fishing rod, and get out there and enjoy it – we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.
